I would rather navigate compromised ideology on CNN than listen to Joe on the weekend. Is delivering breaking news in his contract?

There's this episode of Star Trek where Captain Picard is captured and tortured, and the main way that the torturer tries to break him is by showing him four lights, and telling him that there are five.

There are four lights.

This is not a post about Star Trek.

Gul Dukat's face with a suburban cul-de-sac in place of his forehead spoon.

Gul De-sac isn't real, he can't hurt you.

Gul De-sac:

… and he SERVED ✨

@jonathancapehart.bsky.social , find better glasses frames. These make you look …less young.

Did it hurt? When you fell from heaven?

I wouldn't say if I won the lottery, but there would be signs...

The iPad client can’t handle too many players on the screen, but still shows their pets.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Will we listen to his words today?

An enormous celestial eye made up of plasma fibers stares into the infinite abyss. It is The Eye of Destiny. A lone rider on an ATV, Ted, safely travels on a forest trail below. The text reads: Ted wasn't sure how he encountered The Eye of Destiny, but he was sure glad he wore the proper gear: long pants, long sleeves, goggles, gloves, boots, and a helmet. The Eye of Destiny says, "Good job, Ted."

A home that is a bit cluttered and dimly lit. There are scary monster faces everywhere. The text reads: Welcome home. Falls are the most common product-related cause of injuries and deaths to older Americans. Install handrails on both sides of any stairs in your home. Keep stairs well-lit and free of clutter. Keep floors cleared and slip resistant. Remove loose carpets, cords, and other items that create a tripping hazard. Be sure all rugs, mats, and other surfaces are non-skid. Install grab bars and slip-resistant surfaces in the bathroom.

A young girl stands in her grandparent’s living room. She is surrounded by dozens of cacti. She covers her mouth in horror. Two medicine bottles are spilled over in the corner. The text reads: Are kids in danger at your home? Your home might not be overflowing with cacti, but there could be loose medicine. Before kids come over, make sure medicine and other poisons are locked up out of sight and reach.

A lovely hotel room at a bed and breakfast somewhere divine. On the ceiling is a fan made of chainsaws. It looks kind of cool, but it is also wildly unsafe. The text reads: Does this vacation rental have chainsaw fans? Probably not. That's pretty unsafe. Your vacation rental should have: smoke/carbon monoxide alarms, fire extinguishers, anchored furniture, pool and elevator safety devices.

REP. RANDY FINE: Nuking Gaza would be a terrible idea. The fallout would drift into Israel. It would kill the hostages.

CNN: But you're not worried about killing women & children in Gaza?

FINE: War is a messy thing... Palestinianism in Gaza is on level of evil that we saw in Japan & Germany in WW2

The National Guard and Marines are in Los Angeles, CA to "liberate the city from socialists and burdensome leadership"? Isn't that the definition of a coup?

Susanna Leijten's glowing, mid-transformation eyes, in #StarTrekTNG's "Identity Crisis" are a practical effect, using contact lenses and UV lights. Similar effects using UV lights will be seen again in later season 4 episodes.

the first conspiracy.

Mike Lawler told me, to my face, he would not vote for a bill that cut a single penny of benefits from Medicaid. Mike Lawler got MAD at me when I called him a liar for moving the bill forward. And now he broke his promise AGAIN. Mike Lawler is a liar and a fraud. And a terrible lay.

The Supreme Court holds that fascism is bad. Thomas and Alito dissent.

Crazy how long this conversation has been going on

Another day of reminding everyone of Carl Sagan’s eerily accurate warning about the dangers of not being able to ask skeptical scientific questions to those in power or authority.

11 stone dog gets pub on diet and he LOVES being a fat boi he's SO happy

Six years since Big Diet wouldn't allow this dog to continue to revel in what a unit he was.
